Cold Proving Ground

Chaotic beginnings to sort things out.
These strung out days at times feel like nights.
Running feels bare.
Feet burning to get to dreams.
Any little thing that takes me away from my truth isn't real.
Belief at the start was dim.
Experience of the past talked her through it.
Words so strong it was impossible to ignore.
On the road of distractions she once had to steer the wheel and keep driving forward.
With time run out it was time to take center stage.
The lights shined warm.
Once an empty arena now it was full of live actions.
She turned the volume up as the ref said go.
Left it all out there in the cage.
As she said she would.
Now the story continues with more moments with victory at the end to receive.
